Millions of employees in the UK are now able to work flexibly – fitting their job around their home life. Many in office jobs, can finish early on a Friday, and are allowed, even encouraged, to routinely work from home.
But, at the same time, we’re told that the levels of overwork, stress, and burnout in this country are on the rise. More than 17 million working days were lost to work-related stress, depression and anxiety in the last year for which we have data. So what’s going on?
Evan Davis and guests discuss whether work is really making employees feel burnt out and what's the best way to tackle it.
Evan is joined by:
Jane Gratton: Head of People Policy at the British Chambers of Commerce
PRODUCTION TEAM:
Producers: Simon Tulett, Drew Hyndman and Miriam Quayyum
